2023 Book Riot´s Read Harder

[Terhi, Apukäsi]

Tästä on tullut yksi omista lukuhaastesuosikeistani. Nimensä mukaisesti haastava, mutta siitä juuri mielenkiintoinen.

Suora lainaus sivuilta:
It’s time to announce our next Read Harder Challenge! 2023 will be our ninth year hosting Read Harder and we’ve had a lot of fun coming up with another batch of tasks. If you’re a Read Harder regular, it’s great to see you again! If this is your first time joining us, welcome to the challenge.

Now onto the challenge deets: it once again consists of 24 tasks (an average of two per month) that invite readers to explore settings, characters, formats, genres, and perspectives that might be outside of their reading norms. How you approach Read Harder is up to you: you might choose to read one book per task, or feed a few birds with one scone and count one book for multiple tasks. The point of the challenge isn’t to do the thing one specific way, but rather to to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. We hope you’ll hold yourself accountable, share your insights, and discover some fantastic reads you might not have otherwise chosen for yourself. And remember: have fun with it! No one from Book Riot is going to show up at your door and check your work, promise.

1. Read a novel about a trans character written by a trans author.
2. Read one of your favorite author’s favorite books.

Voi! Tämä haaste jää joka vuosi tasaisen varmasti kauas täyttymyksestä, mutta laajentaa pelkällä olemassaolollaan kivasti lukutottumuksia. Että josko 2023 taas mentäisiin?
